Dined here for the first time and everything was delicious. We ordered the cauliflower, truffle fries and pierogis for appetizers....very good. The atmosphere was warm and cozy.

I got a flatbread pizza. Ate one bite, it was disgusting ! l told the bartender I didn’t like it. She said she can’t take it off my bill because the pizza was made right, not because I don’t like it ! So you want me to pay for something I don’t like! Even the grocery stores you can return food YOU DONT LIKE! The flat bread had processed chicken! I thought it would have real chicken on it! Also pizza was dry! Only thing good is the truffle fires and drink! First and last time there

I had my birthday party on the patio and it was PERFECT from start to finish. Our server (I am forgetting his name but we were the witchy party of 13!) was so patient with us and very kind in addition to generally being great at his job! All of the staff who we interacted with were fantastic, the food was awesome and the drinks were also a 10/10. We ended up staying til 1 am and didn’t even realize how late it was, we were having such a great time. Thanks so much for being so accommodating and hospitable!! Can’t wait to return.

Always a fun time. Great cocktails, an amazing, lively atmosphere and very good service. There's a wonderful patio out back, and they stretch the season out by having heaters and a few individual geodesic domes (at least during winter '25-'26). My only complaint is that it's so popular, sometimes (mostly on weekend nights), it can be pretty loud. But that shows how popular it is!
